From 2 June 2011 all applicants for permanent migration, regardless of the visa type being applied for, will be assessed under the Offshore Skills Assessment Program where the applicant is from a nominated country and nominated trade occupation.

 

Where DIAC requires a skills assessment, applicants in the nominated countries and nominated trade occupations will now be required to have their skills assessed by a TRA-approved Registered Training Organisation. As a result, all successful applicants will receive an Australian qualification as part of the migration process.

Does that mean trade course students who can gather 65 points and are confident that they can pass the tra rto assessment need not go through the job ready program and can go for a test and if they pass they can apply for permanent residency based on point system.

 

any info from experts will be highly appreciated.

 

thanks.

Trade courses, if under the offshore assessment pathway, will need significant work experience... Read this link (scroll down to Pathway 2 – Australian trade qualification (AQF) holder)

 

To quote:

 

Please note that your supporting evidence will need to demonstrate that you have at least four (4) years employment experience directly related to your chosen trade occupation, including at least twelve (12) months paid employment in the trade in the last two (2) years.

 

The DIAC exempts graduates from the "recent work experience" requirement, but it also states that if an assessment authority demands work experience, DIAC's waiver does not overrule it.

 

In effect, this measure will mean applicants from nominated countries under the nominated occupations from applying to GSM visas under trade occupations cannot use the JRP route, and without 4 years of work experience, will be ineligible for GSM...
